chillycraps SG hoho if it's F-5 that shocked the lads, wait till we get the F-15SG... Actually I saw some people ranked RSAF as number 9 in the world... may not be accurate but still reflects how others see us.
Black Aces SG 9th in the world? It may not be a terrific ranking but it is not too bad. But who's in the top 1st-8th ranks?
chillycraps SG 1. USAF 2. US Navy/Marines 3. RAF [Gap] 4. Israel 5. Russia 6. France 7. Germany [Gap] 8. South Korea 9. Singapore 10. China from http://www.strategypage.com/militaryforums/6-38896.aspx this ranking doesn't reflect my opinion tho.
LazerLordz SG I think it's not too bad. In terms of Asia, we are in the top echelon. The ranking will def. take into account force size, training levels and combat experience? What's your opinion?
Fatum SG *giggles ..... I wouldn't take the Strategypage too seriously, would you ? .... but then again, this is not about tooting our own horn is it ? .....
chillycraps SG haha, yeah, in a way strategypage is just a forum reflecting the members' opinion.kind of surprised why JASDF isn't inside, maybe cos it's a self defence force and not an air force? SE Asia wise, we may well be second to none.
Pitot SG I think our airmen are certainly up there. Now for once i'm curious to know the results of sindex hmmm...
cheeze SG Exact results of whatever exercises will never be made known to public. But bear in mind that for combined exercises, each country will want to show good results. i.e good kill ratio as such and stuff. So whatever that is released to public is already censored. For example, Sg might wanna show good exercise results, like wise for India. So, all this results have to be taken into context, whether its Blue Air/ Red Air. Weapon type simulated. Cuffs. etc etc. All countries have deterrent effects to consider mah. Look at their neighbourhood and take a look at ours..
LazerLordz SG secondly, we are known for not sending our top rated planes to exercises. And the Yanks also usually send their Air National Guard units over, e.g F-15Cs
calvin2224 SG Funny why India didnt make it. Especially when the Indians gave the USAF a rude shock early this year in an exchange. And why are China and France in the top 10? And I thought the Russians are too ill-trained these days?
sgFish SG well its only opinions of some forumers there thats all..nothing official. to be taken with a pinch of salt
Seth35 SG E.g Red Flag and the NATO exercises in Northern Canada. Rolling EyesEh...Singapore involved in Operation Red Flag ?
